Bundled consent
Flags consent tied to a purchase or click action — consent must be freely given and separable, not a condition of completing an unrelated action.

What we check
GDPR articles the checker detects
Each scan maps your ad copy against the specific GDPR obligations that most often trip up EU marketing teams — plus EU advertising-claim rules.
Special category data
Detects health, medical, or condition-based product context (e.g. joint pain, supplements) that lets health status be inferred and triggers explicit-consent obligations.
Data collection scope
Catches copy that uses personal data without stating what is collected, the purpose, or the retention period.
Third-party recipients
Identifies personalized or targeted advertising that implies recipients such as Meta or Google without disclosing them.
Right to withdraw consent
Checks for a clear opt-out or preference mechanism — withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it.
Misleading advertising claims
Surfaces unsupported guarantees, absolute claims, and exaggerated outcomes likely to breach EU advertising rules.
FAQ
GDPR ad copy checker — questions
Is the GDPR ad copy checker really free?
Yes. You can paste ad copy and run a full GDPR compliance scan instantly with no account and no payment — using the same AI engine paying customers get. A free account adds saved reports, scan history, PDF export, the Document Vault, and team features.
What GDPR issues does the checker detect?
It flags bundled consent (Article 7(4)), special category / health data inference (Article 9), missing data-collection scope (Articles 13 and 14), undisclosed third-party ad recipients (Articles 13(1)(e) and 14(1)(e)), missing right to withdraw consent (Article 7(3)), and misleading advertising claims under the EU UCPD.
Do you store the ad copy I paste?
No. The free checker runs the scan and returns a report without saving the copy you paste. If you create an account and choose to save a report to your Document Vault, only then is it stored against your account.
Is this a substitute for legal advice?
No. Legalify is a compliance risk scanner that highlights likely GDPR and advertising-claim issues in marketing copy so your team can fix them before launch. It is not legal advice and does not replace review by a qualified lawyer or DPO.
Does it work for Meta, Google, and TikTok ad copy?
Yes. The checker analyzes the wording of ad copy for any EU-facing channel, including Meta and Facebook lead forms, Google Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn, landing pages, and email. It reviews the text itself, not the ad platform settings.
Who is the free GDPR ad checker for?
EU marketers, performance and growth teams, and agencies running paid campaigns who need to catch GDPR consent, transparency, and special-category risks in ad copy before it goes live.
